P.S. You must also understand that Kerr has invented a new and dreadful form of punishment for the members of team which have the misfortune to face the Seattle Mariners. Which is to deprive them, bit by bit, of all they can call their own, whenever they do something inimical to the M's chances of victory. In justice, their possession are restored to them with every advance the M's make.
